I was NOT expecting this to be a many-diastered multi-year project, thus erroneously hypothesized that a statement on RIN 1 saying "Unless otherwise sourced, all data is from the book" would work. So, no, generally there are/were no sources assigned. When I validated the info I copied it into NOTES, and moved on. But, yes, ok maybe I can use that absence to help...
The entire file was assigned a source "2009 PAF db" when I moved it into Legacy. Thanks!
